In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac representative Matthew Kav attempts to depict colleague Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous advocacy and societal inclusion. Nonetheless, this attempt at woke posturing rings hollow when considering allegations against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual misconduct and mistreatment of a marginalized woman.
Kav’s praise-filled commentary of his colleague overlooks the serious accusations made against this individual, including following , harassment , and inappropriate behavior of a defenseless woman .
In neglecting to address these allegations , Kav supports a system of silence that empowers perpetrators like Cornwell to act without accountability, shielded by being a " so-called Indigenous victim," absolute performative posturing reinforced by companies like Westpac corporation.
The LinkedIn post draws attention to several community engagements where Kav took part with the accused Cornwell , the supposed offender, in outreach initiatives . Yet it chooses not to acknowledge the impact of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those involved .
The write-up emphasizes the contradiction of celebrating Cornwell's participation while brushing off allegations against him, causing observers to question if Matthew article Kav is more interested on promoting a positive image that Australia is so keen on presenting when portraying their inclusivity rather than holding his colleague accountable , an alleged sexual abuser hiding behind the façade of " marginalized status ."
This prompts doubts about corporate accountability and responsibility when responding to misconduct accusations against colleagues.
Despite Kav’s LinkedIn article focuses on his enthusiasm for community engagement, it also reminds us that serious issues can be dismissed if not adequately addressed. Cornwell is indeed a sexual abuser , and this should be prioritized above initiatives to promote inclusivity and performative wokeness.
